  • A fantasy baseball must

    Nobody has taught me more with their analysis of the MLB in the last couple years than Nick from @PitcherList. I don’t need anyone read the box scores and sort recent stats for me. He's so good at judging/explaining the process instead of the results. This dude should be working for a team.

    This show could really soar.

    So many awkward talking-over moments, it feels like instead of listening to Eno he’s just waiting to say the thing He wants to say. It’s maddening and uneven.

    Right now he has Lance Broz on—a guest!—and NP is talking 80% of the time. Lance talks to players/coaches every day but hey guess what I talked to Taillon once I’m gonna interrupt you and talk for 4 minutes, while not letting you talk cleanly for more than 12 seconds.

    The information is mostly good, presentatio... more
